Regioselective reductions of 23-epoxy acetals with lithium aluminum hydride: A reinvestigation

Treatment of 2,3-epoxy acetals with lithium aluminum hydride gave the corresponding 2-hydroxy acetals, instead of the previously reported 3-hydroxy acetals.

Oxone-mediated oxidative cleavage of β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones to α-keto esters and 1,2-diketones in aqueous medium

A versatile and highly efficient method for the direct synthesis of α-keto esters and 1,2-diketones has been developed. This approach utilizes the oxidative cleavage of a variety of β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones mediated by an Oxone/aluminum trichloride system. The simple one-step oxidation reaction proceeded selectively in aqueous media to afford products in high yields, short reaction times, and environmentally benign conditions.
